Removal (except active headrest)
To remove the headrest, raise it as far as
it can go then press the release button
(1) while pulling the headrest up (2).
To reinstall the headrest, put the head-
rest poles (3) into the holes while press-
ing the release button (1). Then adjust it
to the appropriate height.Active headrest (if equipped)
The active headrest is designed to move
forward and upward during a rear impact.
This helps prevent the driver's and front
passenger’s heads from moving backward
and thus helps minimize neck injuries.
For your safety, the active headrest can’t
be removed. If there is any problem with
the active headrest, take your vehicle to
an authorized KIA dealer and have the
system checked.
Seat heater (if equipped)The seat heater is provided to warm the
front seats during cold weather. With the
ignition switch in the ON position, push
either of the switches to warm the driver's
seat or the front passenger's seat.

WARNING
Make sure the headrest locks in
position after adjusting it to proper-
ly protect the occupants.
HNF2041-1
WARNING
A gap between the seat and the
headrest release button may
appear when seating on the seat or
when you push or pull the seat. Be
careful not to get your finger, etc.
caught in the gap.

Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat heaters
due to the possibility of excess
heating or burns. In particular, the
driver must exercise extreme care
for the following types of passen-
gers:
1. Infants, children, elderly or dis-
abled persons, or hospital outpa-
tients
2. Persons with sensitive skin or those that burn easily
3. Fatigued individuals
4. Intoxicated individuals
5. Individuals taking medication that can cause drowsiness,
sleepiness or impairment (sleep-
ing pills, cold tablets, etc.)
CAUTION
 When cleaning the seats, do not use an organic solvent such aspaint thinner, benzene, alcohol and gasoline. Doing so may dam-age the surface of the heater orseats.

WARNING
 Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the occupant
detection system, never install a
child restraint system in the front
passenger's seat. A deploying air
bag can forcefully strike a child
resulting in serious injuries or
death. Any child age 12 and
under should ride in the rear seat.
Children too large for child
restraints should use the avail-
able lap/shoulder belts. No matter
what type of crash, children of all
ages are safer when restrained in
the rear seat.
 If the PASSENGER AIR BAG “OFF” indicator is illuminated
when the front passenger's seat
is occupied by an adult and
he/she sits properly (sitting
upright with the seatback in an
upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with their seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and their feet on the floor), have
that person sit in the rear seat.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Accident statistics show that chil-dren are safer if they are
restrained in the rear, as opposed
to the front seat. It is recommend-
ed that child restraints be secured
in a rear seat, including an infant
riding in a rear-facing infant seat,
a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat and an older child rid-
ing in a booster seat.
 Air bags can only be used once – have an authorized KIA dealer
replace the air bag immediately
after deployment.
 The occupant detection system may not work properly if water,
coffee or any other liquid includ-
ing rain gets on the seat. Keep
the front seat dry at all times.
 Do not place an electronic device (ex. laptop computer, after market
DMB/navigation/satellite audio,
video game machine, MP3, etc.)
on the front passenger seat. Its
electronic field may cause the
ODS to switch to the "on" condi-
tion and thus turn on the air bag
warning light or allow the pas-
senger airbag to deploy need-
lessly in a collision, increasing
your repair costs.
(Continued)
 If the front passenger seat is
occupied by a child who is not in
a CRS, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator may or may
not be on and the passenger
airbag may or may not deploy in a
collision. Have the child move to
a rear seat to increase their safe-
ty.
 Do not modify or replace the front passenger seat. Don't place any-
thing on or attach anything such
as a blanket or seat heater to the
front passenger seat. This can
adversely affect the occupant
detection system.
 Do not place sharp objects on the front passenger seat. These may
damage the occupant detection
system, if they puncture the seat
cushion.
 Do not use accessory seat cov- ers on the front seats.
